Device for a layerwise manufacturing of a three-dimensional object and method for inserting and removing respectively, a container

A device for manufacturing a three-dimensional object by a layer wise solidification of a building material at positions in the respective layers that correspond to the object, which comprises:

• a machine frame;
• a door that is mounted at the machine frame and swivels between an open position and a closed position;
• a container that can be removed from the device;
• and
• a support device that is vertically movable in the container, wherein an upper side of the support device forms a building platform, on which the three-dimensional object is generated layer wise;
• wherein a mounting for the container is provided at the door and an attachment is provided at the container, which attachment can be brought into an engagement with the mounting, so that the container can be moved into the device by closing the door and/or can be moved out of the device by opening the door, wherein the device comprises a coupling mechanism, which is driven by a control device, wherein the control device is configured to drive said coupling mechanism such that said coupling mechanism brings the attachment and the mounting into an engagement, when the door is in a closed state and the container is located in the device.
